"There are two game exhibitions in Milan also in November and December which will be worth visiting too:

1. The famous arts museum Pinacoteca Brera of Milan has just opened its exhibition on the Sola-Busca Tarots.I know it has nothing to do with board games, but it is a real event, since this set is the only complete tarot pack known prior to 1600. It is dated to the end of the 15th century.It has recently been bought by the Brera from the family which has owned it for centuries, and it is now presented to the public with a catalogue that promises to tell us everything about these fascinating cards, their "inventore", their artist(s) and their owner.See here: http://www.brera.beniculturali.it/Page/ ... ml?idp=577 (Italian only, I am afraid)

2. On 15 December, the Museo di Milano (Palazzo Morando) will open its exhibition "Giochi da salotto, giochi da osteria, nella vita milanese dal Cinquecento all'Ottocento"It is scheduled to last until 3 March 2013.The only webpage I have found is on a private website here: http://www.tarot-as-tarocchi.com/giochi ... 00_e_.htmlThe exhibition will include board games as well."
